Linwood Post Beam Construction

WHY BUILD USING POST & BEAM?

IN POST & BEAM CONSTRUCTION, VERTICAL POSTS SUPPORT THE ROOF AND FLOOR BEAMS.

Connections between the posts and beams are made with metal connectors on the building site. Thisis different than complete timber framing, in which the entire supporting frame of the home is built byconnecting mortise-and-tenon joints. Post & Beam construction is sometimes called “half-timbering” andoriginated to create buildings capable of bearing heavy weight while greatly reducing the need for supportingwalls or posts. This allows much more flexibility in design and use of space.

STRONG, VERSATILE & COST-EFFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION

Cedar Designs/Linwood is recognized as a global expert in Post & Beam building systems. Although wealso provide home packages that use conventional truss roof systems, we specialize in contemporary Post& Beam construction. This provides an exceptionally solid framework for homes featuring vaulted ceilings,large expanses of windows, and bright, open living spaces. Even better, many of the costs associated withachieving this “open-concept” effect are eliminated when using Linwood’s Post & Beam building system andmaterials.
